I said Zimmerman was going to get off the moment she announced Second Degree Murder. Nobody on my dad's side of the family (black) believed me. My mom's (white) side was about 50/50.
This is true and I said as much the minute those charges were announced. 2nd degree murder could never be proven in a court of law in that instance. Mind you, I stated Zimmerman was a liar the minute I read his account of the incident to police. His subsequent conduct, in which he lied to the court about his funds, proved me correct.
Sadly, Mosby's actions were even more extreme and unethical. Depraved heart murder? She charged the officers with unlawful arrest and assault in the course of committing this arrest. The very idea that an LEO can be charged with either of those crimes during the execution of an arrest they believed to be lawful is insane. Prosecutors, whether elected or not, have a duty to uphold the law, not grandstand for political reasons or file, or not file, charges for political reasons. I've actually seen pundits laud Mosby because her actions shed a light on a corrupt system and prompted needed reform. The fact that anyone could even make this argument nauseates me. She should be disbarred. Sadly, in this instance, malicious prosecution is incredibly difficult to prove by design. I highly doubt the officers see a dime over this. I doubt she sees any negative repercussions for this. She was over her head, she proved it and no one will care.
